Chapter 235: At the critical moment, the crown princess appeared
Yuan Zhi glanced at the people kneeling in front of him, coughed lightly, and said with a flat expression:
"Get up! Now is not the time to hold accountable internally, the first thing Lone needs to understand is the current situation? In the past few days that Lone has been in a coma, what people have jumped out? What did you find? How is Zichen Palace's lonely father? ”
The prince threw out a barrage of questions.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Gao Jin stepped forward and said:
"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the Emperor is nothing serious, other things are quite complicated, according to the old slave's opinion, you have just woken up, it is better to rest for a while, now that the crisis has passed, as long as the prince shows his face, the entire government and the opposition will settle down."
Yuan Zhi closed his eyes and thought for a while, and felt that Gao Jin was right, the top priority was stability, it was still in the New Year, and the whole country was still celebrating the New Year.
The imperial court must have been restless in the past few days, and the heads and brains are dangling inside and outside the palace, and the matter at hand has been delayed a lot.
"Your Royal Highness, all the officials above the fourth rank in Beijing, including the assassins and generals who came to Beijing from the localities, all said that they were going to kneel in Xuanwumen and ask the prince to meet them, so what should we say?" Xie Bi said.
Think about it, the life and death of the prince of the prison country are unknown, the whole country is shaken, and all the officials are concerned about the life and death of the prince, but they are actually concerned about their own fate and direction.
The crown prince of the prison country is dead, and the new lord ascends the throne is another matter.
But if the prince is just injured, everyone goes to Xuanwu Gate to kneel and beg, if you don't go, I'm afraid you will be suspected, and you won't have the same heart as the prince of the prison country.
Even those accused of being traitors are not sure.
Now the entire capital is investigating the assassins, Jin Wuwei and the Iron Capture Battalion are searching from house to house, but all unknown people have been arrested.
This time, everyone has passed.
Who told the enemy the whereabouts of the prince of the court, how did those people with strong martial arts sneak into the capital and the palace?
Many of the suspects have been arrested and are being held in the underground prison of Jing Zhao Yin Mansion and are being interrogated.
For a while, the people of the Beijing division were panicked.
After hearing this, the prince solemnly announced:
"You all listen, whether it is a military general or a civilian system, including local yamen officials, it is absolutely not allowed to kneel and beg in the Xuanwumen court, and you will move to the East Palace tonight, and summon the heads of various ministries and courtyards of the imperial court in the Qinzheng Hall of the East Palace tomorrow."
"But Your Highness, your body..."Xie Bi and the others were puzzled.
"Lone's body knows by itself, that is, it has lost too much blood, and the rest is skin trauma, not hurting the muscles and bones, and Lone has the protection of Dr. Hua by his side, you all go on a normal errand, you are not allowed to continue to carry out door-to-door raids, making a lot of trouble, the secret guards continue to keep an eye on several vassal kings and Cao Mansion, Qianniuwei must find out how the assassins entered the inner city?" Yuan Zhi emphasized.
"Yes."
Xie Bi and Ji Hong were each ordered to be busy with their own duties.
Gao Jin summoned the great eunuchs in the palace to arrange the affairs in the palace, especially the East Palace, and the prince was going to return to the East Palace tonight.
Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang were supported to guard outside the house, and Xiuniang was the only one in the hall.
The prince held her hand and said:
"Xiu'er, now that everyone is gone, tell me about Gu, what happened in the past three days and three nights after I fell into a coma, in detail, okay?"
Xiuniang is currently an outsider, her narrative must be true, and Yuan Zhi wants to understand the movements in the palace in three days from her mouth.
The inner city of the palace, which has the strictest precautions and the highest level of protection, actually has such a large-scale assassination, which makes Yuan Zhi's heart palpitate and shudder.
Who can he trust at the moment?
You need to reevaluate all the people around you.
"Hmm." Xiuniang nodded.
After this incident, Xiuniang suddenly seemed to be much more mature, and she also understood that the prince was not easy.
This prince, with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, is worried about his life at any time.
Since you are married, you have to be in the same boat.
It is said that four days ago, that is, on the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xiuniang came out of the cave and saw the guard Jiang Wulang for the first time.
He was leading a group of guards, holding torches and shouting everywhere where the prince was.
"Jiang Zhuangshi, Jiang Wulang!"
Jiang Wulang turned his head sharply when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful woman waving to him in the firelight.
He took a few steps closer to take a closer look, "You... Are you Miss Guo San? ”
"Yes... Hurry up, the prince is injured. ”
"Quick... Save the prince. ”
Jiang Wulang rushed into the cave with an arrow step, and without saying a word, he picked up the prince and walked out.
He has a lot of strength, and he supports the prince of height and weight with both hands, and he can still run under the light of the torch.
"The prince has been found."
“……”
In the midst of the shouting, Ding Jiu and others surrounded the guard and escorted the prince into the longevity hall of the Taiji Palace.
"Hurry up to the Tai Hospital, and Dr. Hua will enter the palace."
"Hurry up and report to General Xie."
“???”
The scene was a mess, and the only constant Qianniu Wei was on full alert, and no one was allowed to approach the Longevity Palace.
When Xiu Niang ran in panting, she was blocked.
"Let me in."
"No, no one is allowed."
"Get out of the way! I'm the crown princess Xie, are you blind? Xiuniang was in a hurry, she burst out for the first time.
"This..."
These Qianniuwei didn't know the crown princess, and when they were in a dilemma, Ding Jiu came out that he knew Guo Xiuniang, and then he was introduced to the Longevity Palace.
At this time, Dr. Hua's carriage arrived in a hurry, carried out emergency rescue, and activated it with acupuncture.
Due to the prince's excessive bleeding and the wound began to infect, he was in a severe coma, and no one could say whether he could wake up, so he had to resign himself to fate.
Everyone has been busy at night.
Qianniuwei imposed total martial law on the inner city of Miyagi, and searched for the remnants of the assassins in Xiaojingshan overnight.
Xiuniang has been staying by the prince's side, clasping her hands together and praying for God's blessings.
After the fifth watch, there was a commotion outside the Taiji Palace.
"Get out of the way, let me wait to see the prince of the prison country, I heard that he was seriously injured, what the hell is wrong now?"
"We are the Yuan royal family, the empire cannot be without a monarch for a day, His Majesty the Emperor is unconscious, and the prince of the prison country is seriously injured, what is going on?"
“???”
It turned out that the seven vassal kings led by King Ning, King Han and King Fu, as well as the major princes of the royal family, the old prince and so on, all came.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince was a little injured, plus he had a typhoid fever last night, he just took Dr. Hua's decoction, and now he is asleep, please be less restless, and disperse first..."
Only Xie Bi has the highest official position here, a second-grade martial artist, the commander of Qianniuwei, and the general of Zhenwu.
But it's useless for him to come forward.
Before he finished speaking, he was scolded angrily by King Ning, pointing at his nose, "Xie Bi, what are you?" This is an internal matter of our Yuan clan, you are a minister, and you want to muddy the waters here, right? ”
"Yes, Xie Bi, you are trying to imprison the prince and plot against you..."
“???”
There are hundreds of people in the imperial family, and the key is that there are seven vassal kings alone, as well as the old prince, the only surviving little imperial uncle of the current emperor Yuanren.
Everyone was excited, and Qianniuwei couldn't use force to drive them away, and they were about to rush into the palace gate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, slow down."
At the critical moment, Xiuniang walked from the main hall to the palace gate.
